Great food, but was really impressed with the service. The owner asked a few questions about our quick pit stop to get my daughter lunch, and made sure she had exactly what she needed. It wasn't anything than required that level of extra care but I was really happily surprised to get it when I was just expecting normal counter service without the extra touches.
And holy moly. The General Tso's chicken is perfectly crunchy and perfectly flavored. I'm not sure I've had better and I've eaten a lot of General Tso's in my life 🤣 Egg rolls are pretty tasty, too.
Definitely worth swinging by if you're in the area. Truly delicious food and impressively thoughtful service. Hope I have a good excuse to come down soon!

I've worked in the area for over 15 years and used to eat here quite often. It's a change of pace from the typical teriyaki joints, and the combination of sweet pink rice and hot mustard pork was unique. It's been 4-5 years since I've been there, so I stopped by and grabbed the classic BBQ Pork. Unfortunately, what used to be juicy, rich pork was dry and flavorless. The once pink-hued sweet rice was white and had little flavor. I want to say it used to have some sort of green onion cut into it back in the day, that was also missing. Even the mustard, which used to be very hot and somewhat grainy (in a good way), seemed watered down. This was a huge disappointment, not because the food was especially bad, but because it's fallen off so far from where it used to be. With the tip this meal was over $20. I can't imagine going there again, but do appreciate how nice everyone is that works there.

Great service, and it's very clean. I've loved their teriyaki for over 40 years, but the other menu items are wonderful too. Just tried some of the kimchi and it's delicious!
Amazing and authentic Korean street food flavors. Everything seems to be made in house from scratch. A completely unique and friendly experience.

I’ve been coming to Yaks for 27 years. I go out of my to stop on this non descript lil restaurant. Pork bowl is one of a kind with the pink rice and spicy mustard. They are now doing Korean lunch box for $10 and it’s amazing. The black bean sauce with pork belly is way good.

Nice cozy clean interior surrounded by the not so clean South Seattle. Very good food, fast service, and fair prices.

Great service from the owners and food was definitely above average. Orange chicken tasted like it had actual orange in it (in a good way). Great find for a quick lunch!
